ISLAMABAD, June 9: Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA) scored a comfortable five wicket victory over Rawalpindi on Wednesday in the NBP-ICA Inter-district Super Cup, thanks to fine knocks by Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal.

In a match reduced to 39 overs-a-side because of overnight rain, Lahore overhauled Rawalpindi's 199, Salman scoring a solid 95 and Kamran cracking 60. Rawalpindi despite Afaq Rahim's innings of 80 and Sohail Nasir's 43 were unable to put on a fighting total.

In another match played at the Marghazar Ground, Gujranwala routed Chakwal in a seven-wicket stroll. Majid Saeed captured four wickets for just two runs while Muzaffar picked up three to bundle out Chakwal for only 199 in 24.2 overs.
